just wanted to make you aware that an internet search related to this accident brings up this We-ha article and in the blurb the other drivers name is listed, but obviously in your article you have respectfully omitted it. just wanted to give an FYI
The town has invested a lot of money in traffic cameras to what end? If this whole accident wasn’t captured on video it was a waste, but not a surprise.
